## Headline

Software Engineer 2 @ Wayfair \| Backend Engineer \| Building Scalable Backend & Distributed Systems \| Java • Spring Boot • Kafka • Microservices • Event\-Driven Architecture

## About

I'm a Software Engineer with 4\+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, distributed applications, and event\-driven platforms using Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, and SQL\. My experience includes designing systems for high\-volume event processing, distributed file processing, fault tolerance, and enterprise integrations\. Some highlights from my experience: • Built configurable event\-driven systems processing \~1 million events/day, tested to scale up to 21,000 transactions per minute\. • Designed resilient event\-processing frameworks with retry, failure recovery, sequential and parallel processing, contributing to an 87% reduction in HTTP 4XX/5XX errors\. • Designed a distributed file\-processing framework using Spring Batch and Kafka, capable of processing files up to 10 GB using remote chunking and distributed workload processing\. Core areas: Backend Engineering • Distributed Systems • Microservices • Event\-Driven Architecture • System Design • Scalability Tech: Java • Spring Boot • Apache Kafka • Spring Batch • SQL • Redis • MongoDB • AWS • Azure • Kuberenetes • GCP AI & Developer Productivity: ChatGpt, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Devin, MCP Servers Agent Harness Development \(OpenAI, Claude, multi\-model orchestration\) Natural Language Processing \(NLP\) Large Language Models \(LLMs\) Foundation Models & Transformer Architectures Multimodal AI \(Text, Code, Images, Audio, etc\.\) Instruction Tuning & Prompt Optimization Reasoning Systems & Chain\-of\-Thought Design Zero\-shot, One\-shot, and Few\-shot Prompting Contextual & Dynamic Prompt Engineering Retrieval\-Augmented Generation \(RAG\) Knowledge Retrieval & Intelligent Search AI\-driven Data Analysis & Insight Extraction AI\-Assisted Coding & Content Generation AI\-augmented Research & Productivity Workflows Real\-world LLM Applications & Rapid Prototyping Generative AI Product Development Enterprise AI & Copilot Experiences Agentic AI Systems & Workflow Automation LLM Evaluation, Safety, and Quality Optimization Conversational AI & Human\-in\-the\-Loop Systems
